Boosie Badazz Commemorates Acquittal’s Anniversary Amid Potential Legal Win

May 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Boosie Badazz has a couple of legal wins to celebrate, or at least, a potential escape in sight as he reflects on his previous victories. Moreover, he recently took to his Instagram page to commemorate when the court acquitted him in a 2009 first degree murder case. “12 YEARS AGO TODAY !!” the Baton Rouge rapper captioned his IG post. “I WAS FOUND NOT GUILTY N LET OFF DEATHROW N PUT BACK N POPULATION @runwithjason #MARTIN REAGENrip #NICOLE #Donk TRUST N GOD ” This was a big pop culture moment and especially so for the hip-hop community, so looking back on it must mean a lot to him.

Furthermore, the Boosie Blues MC might score another legal victory over his federal case for firearm possession, according to reported Meghan Cuniff. According to a reported new appellate opinion, people with non-violent felony convictions can legally possess guns for self-defense purposes. This new legal development could lead to the court dismissing his gun case, as his situation is very similar to the overturned case that this appellate opinion stems from. In both cases, authorities found firearms during a traffic stop and neither defendant caught accusations of any other illegal activity.

As such, Boosie might get this legal headache away from him, but no obstacle can stop him from speaking his mind on the culture. Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s beef did not escape a take from this perspective, and this assessment may surprise you. “I never seen so many men excited to see men tearing each other down thru music,” he wrote on Twitter. “The men r more excited than the women lol.

“DO YALL REALLY WANT ONE OF THESE GREAT ARTIST CAREER DONE CAUSE THEY LOST A RAP BATTLE?” Boosie continued. “DO YALL WANT ALL WHAT THEY HAVE DONE FOR HIP HOP OVERSHADOWED BY RAP BEEF? THEY TALKING ABOUT CHILDREN, BABYMOMAS DIRT, FIANCÉS, MOLESTATION, PEDOPHILES ETC. ‘S**T THEN GOT REAL.’ I HOPE YALL DONT THINK THESE ARTIST N CREWS SHAKING HANDS N SMILING WHEN THEY SEE EACH OTHER. NOBODY GO BE SAFE N THE NEXT ARTIST CITY. NOT TO MENTION WHEN OTHER ARTIST START PICKING SIDES N GETTING INVOLVED smh THATS WHEN S**T GET SERIOUS #justspeakingfacts.”

Soulja Boy Unleashes On 21 Savage For Defending Metro Boomin Amid Resurfaced Diss Drama

May 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Recently, Soulja Boy took to Instagram Live to vent about a resurfaced Tweet from Metro Boomin, prompting 21 Savage to chime in. “My phone rings to come to the studio with Jeezy,” the Tweet reads. “Yours rings to send Soulja Boy a pack of beats. Sit down.” It was originally written back in 2012, but regardless, he wants it deleted. “F*ck is you talking about Metro Groomin?” he said, “Go delete that Tweet… I don’t give a f*ck if it was three years old, I don’t give a f*ck if it was 20 years old.”

Soulja Boy then claimed that Metro Boomin had “24 hours” to remove the Tweet, leaving 21 Savage curious. “Or what,” he asked in Akademiks’ comments section. Now, Soulja Boy has gone after both of them in a heated Twitter spree, and taken his complaints to Instagram Live once again.

A post shared by No Jumper (@nojumper)

In a clip from his Instagram Live, he hurls countless insults at 21 Savage, clowning him for being from the UK and questioning why he didn’t stick up for Drake amid his recent viral beef. To answer 21 Savage’s question, he also clarified that if the Tweet isn’t deleted, he plans to “slap the f*ck” out of both him and Metro. “You think I’m scared of a British rapper?” he asked, “You was born in Britain.”

He then went on to accuse 21 Savage of turning soft ever since joining Drake on tour, telling him he’s lucky he’s on probation. Clearly, he didn’t take the comment lightly and doesn’t plan to let it slide. 21 Savage has yet to respond. What do you think of Soulja Boy popping off over Metro Boomin’s resurfaced Tweet? Is he overreacting? What about 21 Savage jumping in? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Ray J Calls Sexyy Red “One Of The Best Rappers He’s Ever Heard,” Moniece Slaughter Disagrees

May 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Ray J just gave a pretty hot but understandable take on the Tronix Network premiere of Love After Hip-Hop, one that Moniece Slaughter was in staunch disagreement with. Moreover, he called Sexyy Red “one of the best rappers he’s ever heard,” and an example of someone who doesn’t need a lot of marketing to establish their hit status. In the clip below, they don’t discuss much else, but the singer and entertainment figure also called her one of the top three female rappers of all time. The spicy assessment sidesteps Sexyy’s shorter time in the limelight, but one can’t deny her massive impact.

Furthermore, she got co-signs from pretty much every corner of the music industry, including a strong collaborative bond with Chief Keef. The St. Louis MC has a couple of hits under her belt already, and with each one, she shows no signs of slowing down or letting up on her prolific craft. Ray J may be putting Sexyy Red on a pretty high pedestal here, but it’s hard not to do so with the context of contemporary hip-hop in mind. It’s a multifaceted beast, but one that she definitely controls a specific corner of alongside similarly impressive and show-stopping femcees.

However, all this praise for Sexyy Red can’t get Ray J out of other pickles in the entertainment industry. For example, Hazel-E recently accused him of setting up a fight between her and Masika Kalysha without letting her know beforehand. It’s unclear exactly what beef transpired between these three individuals, but it still hit the gossip pages as a continuation of previous L&HH disagreements. As the brain behind the Tronix Network enterting a new realm of reality TV, we’re sure that there will be more (but hopefully fewer) disagreements down the road.

Meanwhile, Moniece Slaughter gained recent notoriety for her often controversial and dismissive takes of some femcees today, although she also praises others just the same. Her stark denial of Ray J’s praise of Sexyy Red, though, rings off as particularly negative. Let us know which side you’re on down in the comments section below. Also, drop your theories as to whether the Hood Hottest Princess will eventually reach that top three femcee status.

Charlamagne Tha God Reveals How Drake Could Win Kendrick Lamar Feud

May 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s lyrical feud has garnered reactions from countless social media users and peers. Unfortunately for Drizzy, the consensus is that K-Dot came out on top. His response to “Not Like Us” was poorly received in general, as most felt as though it wasn’t nearly as hard-hitting as it needed to be in order to compete. Now, Drake appears to have waved the white flag for good, sharing a cryptic Instagram Story this morning hinting at what’s next for him. “Good times,” he captioned an image of a singular samurai facing a large cavalry. “Summer vibes up next.”

Despite Drake seemingly declaring the beef over, fans continue to come up with hypothetical ways he could turn things around. During a recent episode of Brilliant Idiots, for example, Charlamagne Tha God shared his take. He thinks that what Drake would need are receipts to back up his accusations, like a paternity test from Dave Free or some kind of proof of Kendrick’s alleged domestic violence.

Charlamagne Thinks Drake Would Need Receipts

“Kendrick’s energy is to discredit him,” he explained. “Right now the reason that Kendrick wins is because he’s got all the energy.” According to Charlamagne, the reason there are threads backing up some of Kendrick’s claims is simply because Drake lost, and because people are more eager to see him knocked down a peg.

They went on to debate whether or not receipts would actually make a difference, agreeing that it may be impossible to match the magnitude of what’s already happened. What do you think of Charlamagne Tha God’s take on how Drake can come out on top in his feud with Kendrick Lamar? Do you think receipts would help him at this point, or is it just too far gone? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.
